Geelong Canoe Club events and activities

We run a number of activities during the week from group paddles along the river most Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings to paddle pursuits on Thursday evenings during day light savings.

See the list of planned club events and  river use restrictions to early 2024 in the document attached. Be sure to always check out our Facebook page for any updates.

Barwon River closures, events and zoning

Barwon River is sometimes closed in sections for special events like rowing regattas, paddle marathons and water skiing. There are also events such as running marathons which impact access to the waterway.

These activities are managed by Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA) as they are responsible for the 20km stretch of river that goes through Geelong including where Geelong Canoe Club is located.

Information changes regularly so it's best to check out the following sites to stay up to date:

• CCMA Barwon River events calendar - date and event schedule for river events like skiing and rowing and land events  like running and cycling marathons.
• CCMA zoning, closures and maps
